What gave Dong Yu the most headache was the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.

Those are the big ones and should be plowed the most.

Entering the military camp, Xu Rong was personally supervising the soldiers' drills.

The entire Jizhou army was divided into three parts.

Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang each had their own troops.

Among them, Xu Rong had the largest number of troops, with 30,000 soldiers under his command.

Even if it is Zhao Yun, he controls 20,000 mixed new and old troops.

The one with the smallest number of troops was Xu Huang, who commanded an army of 10,000 soldiers expanded from the Baibo Army, with more new recruits than veterans.

“Shoot!!”

Xu Rong stood on one side of the training ground and shouted loudly.

shhhhh--

Five thousand arrows were fired at the scarecrow one hundred and fifty paces away.

Covered with arrows, two-thirds of the thousands of straw men were pierced with dense arrows.

This hit rate is actually very high.

When firing a salvo covering a large area, the most important thing is not the hit rate, but the coverage area.

As long as the entire area is covered, then the archers are good at shooting.

After all, on the battlefield, as long as the distance is enough, the direction is right, and the range is large enough, you can kill someone with your eyes closed.

There is simply not enough time for you to aim.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Strong!"

"There are arrows on the scarecrows on both sides, proving they are fully covered."

Dong Yu's eyes swept over the scarecrows on both sides.

The arrows shot on the ground and into the straw men proved that the strength of this crossbow battalion was extraordinary.

"Lord!"

"This group of archers is the most elite crossbow battalion under my command."

"Without considering logistical supplies, the most elite archers can shoot 600 arrows a day."

"Of course... your arm might be swollen the next day."

Xu Rong bowed and then introduced the crossbow battalion under his command to Dong Yu.

Firing six hundred shots in a row is already very impressive.

Humans are flesh and blood, and shooting an arrow with a bow requires tremendous strength and endurance.

Generally speaking, an archer needs to rest for a few minutes after shooting seven or eight arrows in a row.

From this it can be seen that the Jizhou Army's combat effectiveness on paper is definitely not weak, and it is not impossible for it to even fight against the Xiliang Army.

In the military camp

Soon it was time for the soldiers to eat.

Although Dong Jun’s food is very good.

There is meat, broth, vegetables, and wild vegetables.

But the taste is just like that.

How to make delicious big pot rice?

Of course, the soldiers had no complaints about this.

In the past, I could never get enough to eat at home.

Being able to eat meat is heaven for them.

"What did you eat today?"

Dong Yu approached the cook who was distributing food and asked with a smile.

"Replying to the General, winter mallow stewed with meat, wolfberry and yam bone soup, and black bean and meat sauce."

A soldier from the cooks' army responded flattered.

"The food is good. We must feed the soldiers well."

“That’s how you’ll be healthy.”

"Give me a bowl of soup first, so I can try it."

Dong Yu nodded and said with great satisfaction.

"It's the general."

The soldier's heart was excited and his hands were trembling as he quickly poured a bowl of bone soup for Dong Yu.

Chiliu~

"Yeah, it tastes good."

"I feel relieved now."

Dong Yu's eyes lit up and he said with admiration.

"The generals often reminded us to ensure that the soldiers have enough to eat and eat well."

"Thank you, General, for considering us soldiers."

The soldiers' faces flushed, obviously they were overwhelmed by Dong Yu's words of comfort.

As a soldier at the lowest level in the army, how could he have ever spoken to such a top general?

And so kind and friendly.

You know, before joining the army, he heard from his fellow villagers that their life under Yuan Shao was miserable.

Eat less than a cat, sleep later than a dog, get up earlier than a chicken, and work more than a cow.

However, when he arrived at Dong Jun, he found that those were all excuses made up by the village elders who did not want them to enjoy, struggle, or fight.

Don’t we know whether being a soldier is good or not?

They had long had enough of going hungry for nine meals in three days, and only being a soldier could allow them to have enough food.

As for whether there is a lot of work to do?
